Amitabh’s poetic tribute to the gang rape victim

As the entire nations mourns and protest the death of Delhi gang rape victim, megastar Amitabh
Bachchan paid poetic tribute to the brave heart who surrendered to the pain and
buried today. Big B penned a touching poem where spoke about the brave soul and
dignity of women.

In his poem, he referred the 23 yr old girl as 'Damini' and 'Amaanat'.

The lines of the poem go as:

"With the passage of time, the candles shall burn out and lose their
flame...

The flowers offered with devotion, shall in the absence of water, get dry
and weathered out...

The voices of protest both vocal and silent, shall lose their strength...

But the 'fearless' ( nirbhayata ) fire that has been ignited, shall rekindle
the flames in our hearts...

The waterless dry and weathered flowers, shall be brought to life drenched
by the tears in our eyes...

With a burning throat the soul of 'Damini' and 'Amaanat', shall be voiced in
the entire universe...

That I am the Mother, sister and daughter of my Bharat...

Respect and dignity are my birthright possessions ..

Bharat the country is my Mother...

Forget about me, become at least the recognised worthy
face of your Mother..!!"
